About the position

The Production Assistant/FORKLIFT is a starting position with the company. New employees typically work a few weeks on day shift to train before transitioning to night shift. New employees are trained as forklift operators/machine helpers and work in a support role of the machine operator processing coated Kraft paper materials and laminations.

New employees who successfully adapt to the work environment, job duties and safety culture of SKC can bid to fill open positions within the company as new opportunities become available.

The work requires physical exertion, the ability to learn and follow instructions, a keen eye for safety, some mechanical ability and a positive attitude. We are a company of dedicated individuals with a sense of urgency who will do whatever is required to supply our customers.

About the typical workday

You will keep busy operating a forklift, opening raw materials, helping to load the raw materials on the machine, unloading the finished product, cleaning up, changing over to other products and doing what it takes to keep the equipment running. There are periods of down time and intense periods of work. Staying busy is a key attribute to help balance the workflow.

Qualifications

We require at least (3) YEARS recent experience operating a SIT DOWN forklift. Once onboard we will progressively train you to operate a forklift in our environment and operate various stations of our main production machine. The job requires some heavy lifting (up to 70lbs.), the ability to stand for extended periods of time, bend, reach, stretch, twist and squat. Excellent communication skills and general proficiency with computers are required to manage the process. You must be able to read both a standard and metric tape measure and use it accurately.

Please note: If you are offered employment, it may be contingent upon the successful completion of any and all background verifications, physical, lift assessment and drug screenings.
